In today’s episode, our host and founder James takes a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we've had on The Staffing RecOps Podcast and we dive into the highlights of the past quarter.
Throughout the quarter, we had the pleasure of hosting 4 amazing guests, Mason Barendrecht, Frank Gullo, Martin Allen and Michael Whitmer. A recurring theme in our conversations was automation in the recruitment landscape.
